Hello! This is my first time posting a question here so I’m sorry if I’m doing anything wrong.
Anyways, today I received three new chicks from the post office. Two of the three chicks were healthy and running around. However, the third chick, a silkie bantam, came weak. I immediately separated her from the rest because I noticed that the other two were pecking at her and put her in a box with a bag of hot water. I gave her some yolk, water with some sugar, and some regular water and she ate the yolk and water. She looked more energized and started peeping a lot so I gave her the heat lamp that I had been using for my older chicks. She stopped peeping and has her eyes closed and is not doing anything. I’m not sure if she is sleeping now or if she is having a relapse.
